Falling on a weekend in 2026: Yap Day (Sunday, 1 Mar), Federated States of Micronesia Day (Sunday, 10 May) and United Nations Day (Saturday, 24 Oct).
Not a public holiday in every state, but in Yap: Yap Day, Yap Day (observed) and Yap State Constitution Day.
For comparison: in 2026 the number of public holidays ranges from 13 (Chuuk and Yap) to 18 (Kosrae). Yap is among the states with the fewest public holidays.
Days marked "observed" are substitute days off when a holiday falls on a weekend. Holidays based on a lunar calendar can shift by a day once the official announcement is made.
Dates are generated from the open-source library python-holidays and automatically cross-checked against Nager.Date and the public Google Calendar holiday calendars; every holiday on a working day must be confirmed by a second source. Official announcements take precedence, especially for holidays that depend on the moon or are declared at short notice.
